Destination weddings have evolved into increasingly exclusive and personalized experiences. Lourdes Ojeda, Sales Manager for Weddings & Groups at Chablé Maroma, shares how this boutique resort has transformed wedding celebrations into unique occasions through personalized service, a one-wedding-per-month approach, and a culinary offering rooted in contemporary Mexican cuisine.

What are the best months to get married in a destination such as Punta Maroma?

Definitely from November through April. These are the months when the weather is most favorable, allowing us to host outdoor events more comfortably. We also enjoy the refreshing sea breeze, which helps keep temperatures pleasant.

What are the three most important things to consider when planning a wedding in Quintana Roo?

First, the weather, as you’ll be in direct contact with nature. Chablé Maroma is surrounded by spectacular gardens and mangroves, and that connection to the environment is part of its charm. I also recommend investing in an excellent sound system and choosing light, breathable, and comfortable attire.

What wedding trends are you currently seeing in destination weddings?

All of our weddings are completely customized, so rather than following trends, we focus on reflecting each couple’s unique personality.

What should be booked first when planning a destination wedding?

Definitely the hotel. This allows us to offer weddings under a buyout model, meaning the exclusive use of the entire property for a single event.

What should couples avoid if they want the entire celebration to take place outdoors?

Avoid worrying too much about weather forecasts too far in advance. There are always solutions available.

What’s your best advice?

Trust your wedding planners and the hotel team. We are destination specialists and are here to ensure everything runs smoothly.
